VinKE & Vinpearl Aquarium is an integrated indoor family entertainment center located within the basement levels of the Times City urban complex in Hanoi. The facility combines a massive aquarium featuring over 30,000 marine specimens with an interactive educational zone for children. The aquarium is divided into distinct climate zones, including freshwater, saltwater, and a specialized reptile cave. VinKE focuses on vocational role-playing games where children can simulate professional careers like firefighters, doctors, or chefs. The aquarium tunnel offers 180-degree views of sharks, rays, and sea turtles in a large main tank. The site serves as a climate-controlled environment suitable for families regardless of outdoor weather conditions. It is physically located beneath the Times City plaza.
The clear acrylic tunnel in the main shark tank provides the most iconic underwater photos.

Check the daily performance schedule at the entrance to align your visit with mermaid shows or penguin feeding sessions.
Wear comfortable, slip-resistant footwear as the aquarium floors can be polished and smooth.
Avoid visiting on weekends or public holidays if you prefer to escape heavy foot traffic from local families.
